Development of a Widely Applicable and Simple Prognostic Score for Patients with Acute-on-chronic Liver Failure

Background and Aims: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) tends to progress rapidly with high short-term mor-tality. We aimed to create a widely applicable, simple prog-nostic (WASP) score for ACLF patients. Methods: A retro-spective cohort of ACLF cases recruited from three centers in China were divided into training and validation sets to de-velop the new score. A prospective longitudinal cohort was recruited for further validation. Results: A total of 541 cas-es were included in the training set, and seven independent ACLF prognostic factors were screened to construct a new quantitative WASP-ACLF table. In the validation set of 671 cases, WASP-ACLF showed better predictive ability for 28-day and 90-day mortality than the currently used prognos-tic scores at baseline, day 3, week 1, and week 2. The pre-dictive efficacy and clinical validity of the model improved over time. Patients were assigned to low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups by their WASP-ACLF scores. Compared with the other two groups, intermediate-risk patients had a more uncertain prognosis, with a 90-day mortality of 44.4–50.6%. Sequential assessments at weeks 1 and 2 found the 90-day mortality of intermediate-risk groups was <20% for patients with a ≥2 point decrease in WASP-ACLF and was up to 56% for patients with a ≥2 points increase. Similar re-sults were observed in prospective data. Conclusions: The new ACLF prognostic score was simple, widely applicable, and had good predictive efficacy. Continuous assessments and trend of change in WASP-ACLF need to be considered, especially for intermediate-risk patients.
